That goes a bit too far, but it's true that Lowry has published lots of indefensible work by Andy McCarthy. And every so often you'll see something at NRO that makes you wonder what exactly they're about:
That's telling, isn't it? An ideological adversary has a strange but substantively irrelevant habit – putting ice in beer – and the NRO reaction is an assertion that he hates the United States. In this iteration of conservatism, being a real American isn't about fealty to the Founding principles. It's all about cultural cues. Just like when the right trashed Barack Obama for putting mustard on his hamburger. (Yes, seriously.)
Bloomberg puts ice in his beer = He hates America. The coded language is getting lame.
And you want to be half the political debate? I think not.
